After the bombardment of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) rule changes in recent days, it’s now time for the really exciting stuff: price reveals.
Our first batch came on Sunday – one for each of the game’s four positions.
In a sign of these times, it’s was all done through WhatsApp. Followers of the FPL WhatsApp channel were asked to vote on whose price they’d like to see next.
We’ll bring you more prices if they arrive.
4:30pm – FLORIAN WIRTZ
Sunday’s fourth – and possibly final – reveal says that beginning with Floran Wirtz will cost £8.5m.
There’s excitement over the German attacking midfielder, who Liverpool shelled out a British transfer record £116m fee to secure.
Wirtz won the Players’ Player of the Season award for the last two Bundesliga campaigns, where both occasions brought double-digit goal and assist tallies. And he started no more than 26 times in either.
It remains to be seen exactly where Arne Slot will deploy him, as Xabi Alonso used a 3-4-2-1 system. But the 22-year-old is a cheaper alternative to Mohamed Salah, albeit one without penalties.
3:00pm – RAYAN AIT-NOURI
When the best defender for attacking returns (11) moves to an elite team that kept six clean sheets in their final nine matches, the question isn’t if he’ll rise but by how much?
Therefore, Rayan Ait-Nouri increases from £4.5m to £6.0m, after joining Manchester City from Wolverhampton Wanderers for a cut-price real-life £31m.
He’ll have plenty of early appeal, having ended third in his position for shots inside the box (31) and fourth for chances created (46).
But is he nailed for starts when Josko Gvardiol also excelled at left-back?
1:30pm – JORDAN PICKFORD
Being the top-scoring goalkeeper for 2023/24 and 2024/25 explains Jordan Pickford’s increased starting price of £5.5m.
Also the best for expected goals (xG) prevention (+6.20), Pickford has promising early encounters with Leeds United, Brighton and Hove Albion and Wolves
Then again, no goalkeeper began last season at a bigger amount. Having an Everton stopper potentially priced the same as those from Arsenal, Liverpool and Man City could prove off-putting. But it’s hard to argue with such point totals.
12:00pm – ALEXANDER ISAK
The first reveal of 2025/26 handed Alexander Isak a £10.5m price.
Newcastle United’s star forward was indeed expected to rise from last season’s initial £8.5m, due to his 20 goals, nine assists and 211 points.
Only Mohamed Salah exceeded these 29 attacking returns, peaking with a period between Gameweeks 9 to 16 that brought 18 goals and 28 bonus points.

Hugo Ekitike’s seemingly imminent move to Liverpool should keep Isak at Newcastle. Therefore, FPL managers can start deciding whether it’s worth beginning with a ‘sure thing’ despite his tough early fixtures against Aston Villa and Slot’s champions.
Other games like the Telegraph suffer with the opposite problem. Why not just have a pool of “attackers” and allow us to select 8.

»That would just make my head more battered.
»Absolutely has not crossed my mind to go without Salah. No player is even close in this game, and now he has better players to supply him. And because I'll captain him every week, even at 16.0m I'd be getting two Salahs 8.0m each. Phenomenal value even if I don't captain a couple of weeks. I'll just leave this here: https://ibb.co/PzvStfhy
